🎬🐾 Katness Movie Update! 🐾

The independent film featuring Katness has had an exciting few months! Since its premiere in December, the film sold out its Iowa City showing, won Gold at the Cedar Rapids Film Festival, and is now nominated for Best Picture at the Iowa Motion Picture Awards.

If you'd like to see Katness on the big screen, there will be a special awards screening this Friday at 5:15 PM at the Fleur Cinema in Des Moines:

Performance work runs in the family. Katness's great-grandmother, Jocianna, appeared in a TV pilot and on stage, while her great-uncle Raider performed in Legally Blonde Jr. and was featured in a live television interview.

We're proud to raise and train dogs that are wonderful companions while also having the confidence and trainability to succeed in unique opportunities like film, television, and theater. We hope to see more dogs from our line on stage and screen in the years ahead.

Congratulations to the cast and crew, and good luck at the Iowa Motion Picture Awards! ❤️🐾

⭐ Client Testimonial ⭐

Nothing makes us happier than hearing from satisfied clients and seeing the bond between dogs and their owners grow stronger.

Thank you, Mike, for trusting us with Bailey! 🐾

Bailey was a joy to have in our Board & Train program. In just two weeks, she learned her obedience commands, and also learned how to be polite around people, other dogs, and even cats. She came home with the skills needed to be a well-mannered companion in both home and public settings.

Seeing dogs return home with new skills is rewarding, but hearing how those skills improve everyday life for their families is what makes this work so special.

If you're looking for boarding, training, daycare, or help building a better relationship with your dog, we'd love to help.

As a proud Military Family Owned small business, this day holds a special meaning to our family. Thank you to those who have served, those currently serving, and the families who stand beside them through every deployment, sacrifice, and homecoming.

One of the fun things we’re working on behind the scenes is homemade dog treats for our daycare and boarding pups 🐾
We picked up a recipe book and can’t wait to start testing some healthy, pup-approved treats with simple ingredients.
We look forward to sharing updates on our pawsome baking journey with everyone! 🐶🦴

Big updates happening in our dog yard! 🐾

Thanks to some incredibly generous people, we now have a fresh load of mulch down in the yard! We still have a bit more spreading to do (and wow, unloading that trailer was a workout 😅), but we’re so excited to keep improving our space for future boarding and doggy daycare pups.

It’s amazing seeing the vision for our kennel continue coming together piece by piece, and we can’t wait to welcome more dogs to enjoy it with us.

Next project on the wishlist? A playset… for dogs! 🛝🐶

Yes, really! If you’ve followed us for a while, you may remember older videos and photos of our litters absolutely loving the toddler slide and steps we used before. Dogs love climbing, exploring, and playing just as much as kids do — and we think daycare and boarding pups would have an absolute blast with it.

More updates coming soon!
